Tigers, 'Pines,

Just an advisory.  I signed up all our phones for the National Do Not 
Call registry the first day:

http://www.donotcall.gov

You get three phone numbers to "de-list" per call.  I never got any 
confirmatory e-mail.  Went back to the site and used their "verify" 
option and got three e-mails (one per number) that I was NOT registered.

Went back again and tried again. This time got three "OK, but complete 
your registration by clicking here"  (one e-mail and confirmation per 
number. (Included cell phones. Darned it I am going to pay them to hear 
their pitch!)

Then you get a confirmatory e-mail good for 5 years.  "Print and keep 
copy".  Sure! I can't find the recipe my wife printed last night!  I 
saved the e-mail in a created IN folder so I could find it (Netscape 
Browser). as long as the disc doesn't crash!

Message: Be sure you got the confirmatory and "verified", or that phone 
will keep ringing.  Wish they would do that for SPAM
